6It could have been better. My main qualm with it was the seemingly all-round low energy level - at no point did it really get very rockin'.
Also, I seem to recall that Katrin Ex did not play on the record at all. Not to slight Mr. McEntire, but having a band with Katrin in it and deciding against her stepping up to the kit IS a bad idea.
The record? It didn't suck. It has its place. But it's not what I would consider primary entertainment material (which I would consider just about any regular Ex album to be).

I like stuff by both bands, so I was surprised.
Likewise... Before hearing this recording I was banking on this particualr meeting of the minds yielding some of the coolest new music in the world. So imagine my disappointment.
Haven't listened to it since I bought it (and subsequently got rid of it), but I remember it being very middling and underwhelming. Not even that enjoyable as background music.
CRAP, unfortuantely...

8BUT -- I feel compelled to add -- now that I've thought about it, this collaboration wasn't exactly a bad IDEA. Rather it was good idea, one that only became bad in hindsight, like fucking the wrong person.

10It's still CRAP, though. Ultimately. By these standards. Some waffles, obviously.
